What is Story-Well?

Founded and directed by Alex Simson, Story-Well is a unique well-being and training service. It uses a combination of traditional storytelling, teaching and therapeutic skills to help organisations, services and individuals achieve their objectives in an enjoyable, meaningful and creative way.

Stories with your aims in mind

Whether you are an individual, business or community service – young, middling or old, Story-Well can offer you a story exploring themes relevant to your situation. Working with groups or individuals we offer bespoke workshops or courses giving you time to explore each story and what it means to you or your organisation.

Stories to engage and inspire

People of different ages, backgrounds, and cultures can communicate through storytelling. Stories provide a unique way to explore all kinds of themes and issues including some of life’s more challenging ones.more details

Stories to inspire learning, development and well-being

Well-being is at the heart of Story-Well, whilst listening to what our customers need and providing the best and most meaningful service we can provide with a friendly, positive, professional and flexible attitude.

Education

Story-Well supports adult and younger learners. Carefully selected stories go a long way to deepen and consolidate an individual’s learning whether it is in the classroom, workshop, training room or at bedtime.

Business

Engage with your team. Explore some of the fundamental aspects of business-life in a memorable, creative and enjoyable way. Improve communication using stories to discuss even some of the most challenging issues.

Health

Well-being is an important part of being healthy. Listening to a story can transform dis-ease at different levels by engaging with the imagination and nuturing self-expression. People are encouraged to relax and enjoy themselves.

The power of storytelling

‘Alex is one of those rare people who has worked out how to allow their soul to speak through them in unhindered, deep and beautiful ways… I have had the pleasure of experiencing Alex’s stories twice now – in two quite different settings, one in a conference hall, and the other round a fire deep in nature – both times she electrified the space. I have no hesitation in recommending her and I will certainly be using her soul-skills again and again.’ Giles Hutchins, Chairman of the Future Fit Leadership Academy, and author of Future Fit and other books.

Alex has been researching, telling and working with stories from all over the world for two decades across community, health, business and education sectors.
